Hello Kayla! I'm normally a silent viewer, but as the month of May ended recently, I just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH for the St. Jude fundraiser. My niece was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer when she was 6 years old. The cancer was found on her pancreas and eventually moved into her lungs. The tumor was the size of a football! Thankfully, she is in remission and has turned into a smart and amazing little girl. It is people like you that help provide for these children. Thank you so much not only for the financial help, but also just the recognition and the outpouring of support to the community.
So glad to hear that they're in remission!! Here's hoping it never comes back. ❤❤
I think the little curtains that came with this pack are designed to go half way up the windows (so they only cover the bottom half of the window). That's the classic french look
yes, finally somebody gets it. drives me crazy people putting them at the top, they don't do anything there lol
They're actually called café curtains, and before these last few packs I was pretty sure the team didn't realize they existed. I guess the name is maybe because they give folks sitting at a window table privacy? They do sometimes have a valance at the top if the window isn't shorter. They used to be used with the valance in kitchens a lot. I liked them because you could see over the top, but they did still give a lot of privacy. I even sewed some once for my farmhouse kitchen that had super tall windows.
@@LivinInSim they did have similar ones before, for example in cottage living or parenthood and even growing together I believe. most people just don't really know what to do with them and never use them but they're so good for a kitchen window for that extra bit of privacy!
extra privacy, plus its nice to be able to keep natural lighting in the room without blinding you while you sit! i work at a restaurant with only whole window blinds, so when people ask to bring them down it makes it feel so much more dull without the sunlight :’)
6:27 those are parking bollards. Use them to separate pedestrian spaces from vehicle roadways
I needed to make sure this was in the comments somewhere (mostly cuz I think Kayla would actually like to know)
bollards are one of those atmospheric decor items that, when used correctly, really makes a community lot blend in
I recently tried to make a house only using the pre-built rooms that come with kits and it was hilarious!
I hope she tries this lol
That was what I did with my first build EVER and I only had base game. Gosh I should recreate that 😭
I did this when I started playing so I didn’t have to worry too much about furnishing rooms or them being overly big or small!
Ooft I bet it was decorated, er, differently? 😅
Ooo! I hope she tries this! And not even just the kits, but with all the packs!
I’d love to see simsie in her element doing a lot that’s literally just landscaped. A big beautiful garden with winding paths and a pond and things. Fireflies. Like just the most beautiful garden with bird baths and maybe a few benches but like all garden. Builds don’t always need to be “builds” and I feel like she would love doing it.
Yeah she could make like a park! A really pretty community lot with like, almost no buildings
@@AnUmbreonNamedRaire yesssss that’s like what I meant! It could be a park that’s like a wild garden and maybe just like a shed in the corner that the groundskeeper stores his tools in, or it could have a small community section with bees? Just a luscious wildflower garden. Would love to see it
@@AnUmbreonNamedRairei think she did do a park like this somewhat recently!!! it was beautiful
5 months ago she did something like this with romantic garden and it was beautiful!
I think the basic difference between a Lounge and a Nightclub in this game is the age of the sims that show up. Lounges seem to attract more Adults and Elders while Nightclubs tend to attract Young Adults.
funnily for me i tend to send my younger (teens +young adults) to nightclubs on dates and several times has an elder died there and ruined the dates especially bc i often i use dates to get a boyfriend/grifriend
How about a bar vs a lounge?
@kiannielopez93 lounges always attract more elders, it's built into the game like that
@@kiannielopez93 when im building, the main difference between a bar and a lounge is the price point for going there in my head LOL. lounge has fancier live music, whereas id expect a bar to have games and tvs. like, you could take a child sim to a bar and theyd have things to do there besides talk
I think the little bistro curtains usually are hung in the middle of the window and not on the top it that makes sense 😊
I really appreciate the "using only one pack/kit" videos because they help me decide whether to buy it, so thank you, Kayla!!! Also, love your videos and the streams! Although I don't really ever see them, I got no time :C.
I like the idea that this a lounge owned by a mafia boss. So like, the the room in the second floor is probably the kitchen to provide all the food and stuff, but theres a locked door that leads to a staircase to the third floor that is one of his meeting places. Like he can't live there, obviously, but he meets other mafia people there, and it looks totally normal when they enter this really nice lounge in a full tux or elegant gown.
I don't really know why I enjoy watching you build when I barely play The Sims and I hate building myself.
I’m the same especially with like the generations let’s play. I love watching her play but every time I try to do it myself I get so bored
Same!!! I hate building and honestly don’t have that much time to play but I watch every video of lil simsie’s
I think it is fun to watch things are we won’t do ourselves come together so well😅 satisfying!
Same same! Never play it - watch her videos every day lol. Go figure!
The bollards (3 black posts) are usually used to block roads from vehicles, but allow pedestrians and cyclists through. They are normally used in places that originally allowed cars, but have since been pedestrianised. There are also bollards that can retract into the ground (electronically) or be removed from their post holes (manually) for private roads or restricted access, but those debug ones look like the immovable type.
Stop making all these kits look so charming I don’t want to give ea any more money
I wish in for rent or something that you could live in top of a shop and own the shop or somebody else owns it but you just live above.
ever since the for rent pack. i feel like its so close. but i just want to be able to have multi venue lots. likes apartments with restaureants in the bottom. or spas with vacation rentals. or restaurents and comunity centres etc
I love that you went out of your comfort zone and used red! I like red, so it was nice to see you use it
6:27 florida girl doesnt know what bollards are, classic lmao
and repeats it exactly the same twice lol
@@bbtea4803 that's a lil jokey joke her editor does - he intentionally leaves in a doubled sentence in almost every video. when you start listening for them they really jump out at you, i haven't been able to un-notice that since i saw someone point it out awhile ago 😹
Yeah I hate it @@synniestar
@@synniestar Kayla said in a stream it isn't on purpose
@@FreddyKruegerTheDreamDemon i'm choosing to believe it is and that she said it isn't was a joke because that's a shameful lack of quality control if it's not lmfao. it happens in almost every video.
You should do a build challenge where it’s the same as you renovating the starter homes, but you HAVE to use everything they placed! (you can add more and change the colors if you want!) but you CANNOT delete anything! (make the house smaller and all, but no deleting items.) also you have to use the same wallpapers and floors as they use( again can be a different swatch)
I used the kit to update the Blue Velvet, just changing it around and adding in windows, tables, bar, a stage, the walls, etc using the dark blue swatch. I think it ended up okay. But it is frustrating that even with all the packs there is not a matching set of counters for the new bar. I also used it to build a little "café" on the side of my sim's house, using the Home Chef Hustle table inside, and it's probably the most fun "home business" I've ever built.
I think Kayla should try to do each room is a different kit challenge!!❤
it's giving sims 3 sunset valley's bistro, and i mean it completely as a compliment
6:17 the poles are used for bike lanes to make sure cars don’t drive into them. They are used in pairs of 3, since that is the width of a bike lane. These are commonly used in the netherlands ❤
changes name of lot to "The Red Velvet"! Love it!!!
you can get a selling table off the gallery to make a buffet style restaurant. works even in base game.
One thing I really want, and that you reminded me of at 17:47, is things like the rental residentials, except instead of renting you can have a normal residential on the same lot as some commercial lots. For example, a large complex on a 64x64 lot that has a whole bunch of stores, with an apartment for the owners.
I think this is one of my favourite Simsie builds ever!! Looks so good
When you said “You’ll have to bear with me, I have an overthinking problem”, I felt that!! 😅 love the build
simsie can u do a video that’s like the sims 4 but each room is a different ___ those r so fun to watch
if you have medium or tall wall height, you can fit the sign above the door without clipping with windows upstairs.
The outdoor eating area reminds me of the Sunset Valley bistro in Sims 3!
This reminds me sooooo much of the bistro/restaurant from Sunset Valley (I think?) from Sims 3 🥺
Facts! also, the inside feels very Late Night. I'm absolutely in love with how Sims 3 this pack feels
I love watching u do landscaping cause I’m terrible at it and find it boring to do but it’s so pretty & it seems fun when u work on it haha
You make it look effortless 💗 Cute build!!
i’m watching this video while picking the color palette for the project i’m working on right now. i keep zoning out while working and coming back to her saying “i’m kinda on the fence about that” or “yeah that’ll work better for that color over there” right at the exact time i was already thinking it, so thanks for your input on my project i think it came out super pretty lmao
the fact that you need other packs to build a functional bistro with this kit is kind of similar to the my first pet stuff pack!
Ok
I think a great video idea would be you redecorating with all the packs. Ofc with your classic no touching outer walls as well as interior walls. I’d love to see it with some greenery on the wall outside but still have it be a lounge
Dan is at it again.
There is a wooden wallpaper in bg that matches the new windows colors perfectly. You could have used that on the outside and used higher wallheight so the sign wouldn't clip into the window flowerboxes on the middle floor. Just an idea!
Appreciate the realness in your content, it's like a dose of authenticity
06:20 - Bollards. The item you are referring to here is called a bollard. It has a long history with ships, but in short they are used today to prevent accidents like cars driving into the front doors of places or damaging sign posts. They are placed in between where cars could theoretically accidently drive through and cause damage.
my favourite thing to do with empty upper floors on community lots is to make them look abandoned and in my gameplay transform them into a club hangout!
6:27 those are barricades that stop a vehicle from driving into a building or onto a sidewalk.
You should do the maximum capacity challenge next, basically you pick a lot (or even better you spin a wheel to get a random lot) and then you have to build 6 units with room for 8 sims each
The dividers are to be put between tables for privacy... So it feels more like a lounge and less like a bar or restaurant. Beautiful building tho, i love how ypu decorated it. Props for using do much red! I know you don't really love it
I would love to see someone recreate the bistro from Sunset Valley in The Sims 3 with this kit
You could totally make the storage room and 3rd floor into a little apartment! Such a cute build btw!
Not me screaming "it's the office!" about the "empty room."
i love your videos, i did notice that almost every video there's one moment where the editing is a little strange and you say the same thing two times in a row and it always makes me chuckle. it's the little things lol
Please do a limited pack build with growing together or cats and dogs
Love you simsie❤
this is my favorite lot you have ever made
The red coloring on everything reminds me of that one cafe from Pokemon X & Y... I wonder if anyone here remembers this reference 🤣
The one you meet Diantha in right? Or the one with Lysandre?
I feel a bit anxious about the clock above the stairs because it's not really a wall clock😅 Just a little fear of it fallen off I guess
Your build looks like a restaurant we used to have in Birmingham uk. Its a chain and still available in other places but our Cafe rouge shut down, but the whole theme was french bistro and of course with the name everything was a dark red.
This is giving UK Pub vibes❤
Love you videos
Anyone else picture like live French jazzy music being played here on the stage? Like ratatouille vibes lol
Edit: side note, calling this lot the red velvet is absolutely genius! 😂 👏🏻
Petition for kayla to make a "blue velvet" dark speakeasy vibes
This is honestly giving Sims 3 in the best way ❤
Kayla you could've done a really cool ceiling 😭
Reminds me so much of the Sims 3 restaurant ❤
I’m buying the kit and placing this so I can use it cause I don’t have the skill 😅
tempted to turn this into a speakeasy ngl
I’m here so early
Mee to
RED VELVET MENTIONED‼️‼️
Those little pole things are meant to go in front of stores so that cars don't hit the building, they hit the poles instead
i was hoping you’d name it the red velvet
I love it. Look so nice❤
I got it to use ot with cafés
This is begging for a second entryway into upstairs apartments, i can just see it now
RED VELVET MENTIONED!!
Hi love the build!! Question though, is the editing intentional when it makes you say the same sentence twice? This is in no way meant to be rude I’m just genuinally curious
It is! It's a running joke, each video has one moment where it does that.
@@KyleZonePlus ahh okay thank you!!
My Evergreen Harbor completely disappeared. Does yours still work?
I JUST realized at 12:18 the swatch of what looks like two men dancing and now this little bit of possible gay art is gonna be the sole reason I'll buy this kit lmao
Simsie: I dont like red, I just dont think its a pretty colour
Also Simsie: Does an entire build in red
Never been this early
I need someone to make a cc add-on for this kit and have versions of the windows and doors for medium and tall wall heights and so on cause it‘s a very pretty building kit
10 seconds ago
Hiii!!!
Has anyone gotten the new daily rewards to work? Im not sure what im doing wrong
Nah bro in the beginning it sort of looks like a fancy restaurant
Does anyone else have Kayla repeats herself in her videos like in 6:25 she said the same exact thing twice
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Hey Kayla. Can you do an every room is a different pride flag build, please?
Wait i just figured
If there is lot requirements that you don’t want in your lot
You can just put it in a closed room in a corner so no one sees them😂
HII
Under 1 minute
👇
WHOAH 14 seconds ago!!! that's crazy
anyways love you kayla
Omg im so early
Those things you didn’t know what they’re for… they’re bollards. You used them correctly. They’re used in front of buildings that face intersections and around pedestrian only quads or to cap pedestrian only streets. Their purpose is to protect the vulnerable from the vehicle, so to speak.
Fun fact, every country & often every municipality have their own signature bollard & it’s one of the biggest ways that competitive geoguessers manage to position themselves on Earth since they’re so unique… often in place, time, or both.
Recently I've noticed sometimes you say the same thing twice and it repeats one right after another but I'm not sure if it's intentional or not 😭
Like here 6:17 for some reason it's hilarious
It's intentional! It's a running joke.
No views or comments, 18 seconds I'm finally the first 😂
We have different definitions of good
10 minutes ago!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Early Simsie Crew 💕
am i dumb or are the videos she says are linked below never actually linked?? this is the third time i've actually wanted to watch that video and not seen the link
:)
I’m gonna be honest: I still don’t know what a bistro is.
6:22 leaving in double takes is still annoying. Quit it, Dan.
It's intentional.
@@KyleZonePlusit can be intentional and annoying for some people at the same time
